Maybe they can use it on the bus that drives around my town. It’s genuinely noisier and more annoying than the lad with the ‘crackle map’ that drives around

I see fun times to be had stood by one of these with a fog horn just as Mr and Mrs curtain twitcher drive by on their way back from the bridge club

How will they determine what car is making that noise? Either a one lane road or a magic oscillating camera with a highly directional microphone and magic pixies

I live near the A21, a straight part with dual carriageways. This morning we had someone with an extremely loud exhaust go past our house and up the A21 giving it some, so I could hear him. Same for motorbikes.

However, this tends to be a short period of time only a few times per day, whereas there is a constant drone all day from car tyres. Also we are on the flight path for planes queuing to get to Heathrow.

I believe it is the fact that the bikes and noisy car exhausts have a certain pitch and stand out from the background level which people have got used to.

I have a loud exhaust on my MX5 so of course am a bit biased, however my wife only complains on some days about the noise when the wind is in the direction to make the tyre noise drone worse.

I guess sleepy villages do not get contant tyre noise so the exhausts stand out more.

I can only see it getting worse as more and more milk floats get used, people will start demanding less noise.
